Dirección General de Carreteras

The Dirección General de Carreteras (DGC) is the Spanish road authority responsible for the maintenance and repair of the country's road network. Recent news highlights its involvement in addressing infrastructure issues. Specifically, the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, discussed investments of 186 million euros in repairing the Rodalies rail network, potentially lifting speed restrictions by June. Separately, the DGC oversaw the reopening of the M-604 road between Navacerrada and Rascafría after a month-long closure. This closure was due to the repair of an eight-meter sinkhole that appeared at kilometer 35.200, a key access point to the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park. The sinkhole was attributed to heavy rainfall. These events underscore the DGC's ongoing role in maintaining critical transportation infrastructure and responding to damage caused by environmental factors.
